It's funny how that happens. I think that it could be a good thing to decentralize Steemit even more.@ned and @dan are releasing control, and that can be a good thing. It can also be bad (re: DAO). But in this case I think there would be a good balance to centralization and decentralization. Not every one votes, right, just witnesses? Here's something to ponder. What if the price of Steem falls to a penny. You and I grab up millions of it. Then, Witnesses adjust inflation and other aspects that bring back investors. Voila! Instant riches, without having to even pen a single article!

Yep, exactly :)
